The story was quick and easy to read. I was invested enough to read to the end, and there were some poignant moments. However, so much of the book was boring filler. The story would have better suited an essay than an entire book. For all the padding, it was also missing crucial parts of the story. We never found out his parents' story together, and his mother was oddly absent. If he wanted to respect her privacy so much, I'm not sure why he turned this into a book!
